Abstrakt: Triplet pregnancies are by nature rare. Assisted reproductive technologies have multiplied their rate of occurrence in the last two decades. Whether spontaneous or induced, triplet pregnancies present obstetric and neonatal-and then often lifelong-medical problems severalfold more often than singletons, or even twins. The major cause of problems for triplet gestations stems from preterm delivery and low birth weight.
